As you might guess from the name, Salhouse Broad's Camping Corner is a place where it’s simple to get out and about on and around the water; this pretty place is part of the Broads, the rural waterways of Norfolk and Suffok that’s a top spot for boating of all sorts. And it’s simple indeed to get out on the water from this scenic site, as it sits right by the water and guests can hire canoes and kayaks to paddle along at their own pace to nearby Wroxham or Horning. That means you can base yourself at Salhouse to explore the Broads by foot, bike or canoe, all among lush views, woodland and broadside walks with a variety of species to see for the nature spotters. Salhouse and Woodbastwick villages are within strolling distance at about 10 minutes each and there’s loads more to see and do within driving or public transport distance: Norwich, Wroxham and Horning are all close by and the local bus stop (with services to all three) is 10 minutes’ walk away. The bus service between Salhouse and Norwich or Wroxham operates every hour and the train service stops every two hours. Salhouse Broad's Camping Corner is a friendly, laidback and basic site for tents only, with pitches in a corner of a field close to a broad. The site has a standpipe for drinking water, portable toilets within the main camping area for guests to use; please note that there are no showers or hot water. The pitching area is car-free and is 100 metres from the car park. Three pubs are within 20 minutes' walk, in either Salhouse or Woodbastwick.
